Review:
Although his computer compositions for the Entr'acte imprint are steeped in the theoretical end of electronic music, some of Lee Gamble's earliest musical experiences were as an active participant in the jungle scene of the mid 90s, regularly DJing on pirate radio. Diversions 1994-1996 sees Gamble take samples of jungle mixtapes from the era and recompose them in an utterly unique way; honing in on the spaces between the breaks he loops and stretches out brief moments of music into haunting, post-apocalyptic soundscapes, allowing the original moments of euphoria to decay on the breeze. Despite its slightly difficult premise, Diversions is actually one of the most accessible PAN releases to date - and should serve as an ideal entry point for those wishing to explore Gamble's work and PAN further.
